A bright red handprint appeared on Lin Qiao's fair cheek.
She had naturally fair skin, and after being well - nourished in the Changle Palace for so many years, it was even fairer and more delicate. Coupled with Meng Erliu's great strength in that slap, half of Lin Qiao's cheek had slowly swollen up.
It looked extremely shocking.
Luo Nanchen roared, "Meng Erliu!!!"
Meng Erliu proudly raised one corner of her mouth. "What, can't you bear it anymore?"
In his great anger, Luo Nanchen even forgot the current situation and the proper measure in the fight. In a fight between two sides, the calm one would win.
But seeing Lin Qiao being slapped, Luo Nanchen couldn't wait for a single second. He even wanted to fly directly to rescue Lin Qiao.
However, Meng Erliu seemed to have anticipated this. She directly tied Lin Qiao to the edge of a cliff.
Below was the surging lava.
Just standing there, one could feel the heat from the lava. Waves of heat came one after another, making Lin Qiao a bit dizzy.
Luo Nanchen stood only five steps away from Lin Qiao, but he didn't dare to get any closer. His eyes were blood - red and his face was stern. "Meng Erliu, what on earth do you want?"
Meng Erliu let out a strange laugh. "What do I want? Don't you know? My Emperor, now you can only choose between the country and the beauty."
Lin Qiao was so dizzy from the heat that, in a daze, she could hardly hear what they were saying.
In a split - second, Meng Erliu took the initiative and pounced on Luo Nanchen.
Just then, at the cave entrance, Mo Xiujie, Li Gusuong and Yang Haoyu rushed in. There was still a Spirit - Locking Pouch hanging on Mo Xiujie's belt, emanating a powerful evil aura.
It was probably the ghost baby. Then she could rest assured.
Meng Erliu's face changed slightly, and she launched a more ferocious attack on Luo Nanchen. One move after another, she aimed directly at taking his life.
Lin Qiao watched from the edge of the cliff, more anxious than if she were the one fighting. She even wished she could go up and slap Meng Erliu a couple of times. But as she got more and more anxious, Lin Qiao suddenly felt that the frame binding her was a bit loose.
... No way, was it about to fall?
Why did it feel hotter and hotter behind her?!
Lin Qiao was already a bit hallucinated from the heat at the edge of the cliff. She couldn't tell whether she was really falling or her senses were wrong. In any case, her head was already groggy.
No one could withstand the scalding lava, not to mention the astonishing heat that evaporated upwards like steam.
Over there, Meng Erliu kept using dirty tricks. Seeing Mo Xiujie and the others arrive, Luo Nanchen was in no mood to parry. He rushed straight towards Lin Qiao.
How could Meng Erliu miss the moment when Luo Nanchen had a weakness? She gave a wicked smile, and the blood vessels on her arm, which had been almost transparent, turned back to a deep purple.
Suddenly!
Luo Nanchen's shoulder was grabbed by Meng Erliu!
Lin Qiao's groggy head instantly cleared up... Damn it, this bitch Meng Erliu?!
Meng Erliu's arm turned purple again, and the protruding blood vessels were extremely eye - catching. It seemed that since she couldn't defeat Luo Nanchen, she was going to use a ruthless move. She didn't hesitate to sacrifice her own arm and didn't care about the side effects of the Lu Ying Whip.
But Luo Nanchen, who had no intention of sparring with Meng Erliu, only wanted to rescue Lin Qiao. He was stabbed hard in the back by Meng Erliu.
But Meng Erliu didn't have it easy for long. She was immediately entangled by Mo Xiujie who rushed up, and the situation was immediately reversed.
Luo Nanchen, who was injured, didn't even bother to check his wound. He didn't even frown. He still rushed non - stop to the edge of the cliff and untied Lin Qiao who was tied there.
Then he hugged her tightly in his arms. "You scared me to death, Xiaolin. You almost scared me to death..."
"You almost scared me to death," Lin Qiao struggled out of Luo Nanchen's arms. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Let me check your wound first. Are you stupid? Why did you let her sneak attack you..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was kissed by Luo Nanchen.
Hey? Was her silence spell lifted?
No, this wasn't the time to worry about this.
... Luo Nanchen had such a serious wound on his back, but he still came here to be a hooligan?
Lin Qiao pouted. "What are you doing? I'm fine here. You got yourself seriously injured for nothing..."
"It's not okay even if you're fine. Not even a bit of danger is allowed," Luo Nanchen pulled Lin Qiao into his arms again. His hoarse voice still had a bit of a sob in it, sounding extremely aggrieved. "Xiaolin, I almost thought I was going to lose you."
Lin Qiao patted Luo Nanchen. "Don't worry. No matter what, you'll find me. If you can't find me, then I'll come to you."
